This kind of thing is just gonna get worse as they get cheaper. Skies are gonna be filled with drones. Spying on you, hitting your plane when it is in lower altitudes for take offs/landings, hitting your house/car by accident, etc.

The beach has the word "private" in it so other people aren't supposed to see you, even if they have access to the beach too.

I know how she feels. Every time I go out in my private car and drive around people look right at me. What part of private don't they understand? I can tell they see me because they flip me off when I make obscene gestures at them, so they must be looking at me! Don't they know they are violating my right to be out in plain sight without being seen?

(Actually the safety and annoyance parts are pretty sensible things to have a problem with, but if you go outside in clothing designed to show off your ass, it doesn't make someone a pervert if they look at the ass you are putting on display.)

Because going OUTSIDE into the open air is private.And the hyperbole of ass ramming is useless if you don't give an actual distance.My personal space is 500 miles in any direction, so Im being constantly violated and should have the right to sue.

If drones start to become a nuisance, especially at low altitudes, I'm going to invest in a competition slingshot or something similar that can't be considered a firearm, and then go out for some target practice.

ManRay:I have a quad copter. It's not a drone. Drones are what the government uses to kill people at wedding parties in other countries.

I always wondered why the quad-copters are called "drones", too. It's an RC aircraft. If it's a drone, then all RC aircraft are drones. And, for that matter, RC cars and boats also would be called drones even though they are not able to travel vertically. It's all marketing.

Since they were able to actually confront the operator, it implies that he too had permission to be on the private beach. In fact, the range on those things is not that great - you more or less have to keep it within sight distance - so ... it's nothing he couldn't have seen if he was there in person himself, which he obviously was.

I dunno what the BFD is, other than it was obviously making a video recording.
